How to Maintain Your KYBELLA® Results Long-Term

If you’ve chosen KYBELLA® to reduce stubborn submental fat (the “double chin”), you know just how transformative it can be. The injections break down fat cells permanently, giving you a slimmer, more defined jawline. However, while KYBELLA destroys treated fat cells permanently, maintaining your smooth contour long-term depends on a few key lifestyle and skincare habits.

As a board-certified plastic surgeon in San Antonio, Dr. Jessica Belz has helped countless patients achieve lasting confidence with KYBELLA. Her personalized approach ensures each treatment is tailored to your goals, and her ongoing guidance helps you maintain your results well into the future.

What Makes KYBELLA Results Permanent?

Unlike temporary cosmetic treatments, KYBELLA permanently eliminates the fat cells it targets. Once those fat cells are destroyed, they don’t regenerate.

That said, weight gain or lifestyle changes can enlarge remaining fat cells in the area, which may compromise your results. Post-treatment care is crucial for maintaining a sharp and defined jawline.

Tips for Maintaining Your KYBELLA Results

You’ve spent money and time to address submental fullness with KYBELLA. Here are some of the best ways to preserve your outcomes:

• Maintain a Healthy Weight: KYBELLA removes fat cells, but not all of them. A balanced diet and consistent exercise routine reduce the likelihood of new fat accumulating in the treated area.
• Stay Hydrated: Adequate water intake supports skin elasticity and keeps your profile looking smooth.
• Protect Your Skin: Sun exposure can damage collagen and contribute to sagging skin under the chin. Use daily sunscreen to maintain skin tightness.
• Consider Skin Tightening Treatments: Non-surgical options, such as laser skin tightening or radiofrequency treatments, can help enhance skin firmness after fat reduction.
• Adopt a Skincare Routine for the Neck and Chin: Using quality moisturizers and collagen-boosting products helps maintain skin elasticity and enhances your jawline definition.
• Follow Your Provider’s Guidance: Regular follow-ups with Dr. Belz ensure your results remain in harmony with your overall aesthetic goals.

A healthy lifestyle and consistent skincare can make a big difference. Taking these steps will help you protect your investment and ensure long-lasting outcomes.
